agreed on the gene doping, however there will be a better than jordan, there will be a better than everybody

i disagree, human athleticism can only go so far.. if bolt runs a 9.4, let's say someone runs a 9.2, you think people will end up running 8.9, 8.8, 8.7, etc? it's just not going to happen. At some point, one individual will be the best of all time & no one will beat those stats. The mile is not going to get much lower than 3:42.. 100m won't get much lower than 9.4.

gene doping is very much "cyborg", so even if it ends up causing people to run a 9.2 100m etc, it's not purely human, it only got that way from human intervention. I personally think bolt isn't on any PED's, so what he's doing is psychotic. If he ends up being caught for PED's then it is still impressive, but it puts him in a different category.

As for the jordan thing, in this competitive era it's basically impossible statistically for someone to achieve what he did. They have all kinds of stats proving their won't be another jordan, it is interesting stuff. A guy like lebron might end up getting 2 titles max, kobe might get 2 by himself but his roster is still stacked. Jordan could have had 8-9 titles had he not retired, in an insanely competitive era. I saw some stat on him saying he's never had a 3 game losing streak in his nba career, and that it's pretty much statistically impossible for that to happen, was interesting.

hehehe

I agree.
I believe that human evolution curve is exponential and not linear... I dont know where it will get in 1000 years , but i guess were talking in the short term ( like 50 years? ) so i don't think there's much room for more progress.
Bolt & Jordan are like genetically doped , but it was just coincidence.
So they got the good genes on everything , including sport-specific talent.

Look at high jump for example:
Sotomayor's WR is 2.45 in 1993
2nd all time is Sjomberg's 2.42 in 1987
And 3d all time is Paklin's 2.41 in 1985

Pole Vault:
Sergey Bubka,     6.15, 1985
Rodion Gataullin, 6.02, 1989
Okkert Brits,        6.03, 1995
Igor Trandenkov, 6.01, 1996
Tim Lobinger ,      6.00, 1997

Duh , those numbers depressed me btw , what kind of freaks were they... LOL

ADA = altitude drop

on an REA squat, there's some level of free fall, it could be 1/4th, 1/2, deep, etc, depending on your ability/preference.. so basically that drop acts like a 'shock', causing greater motor unit activity than would be experienced had you just lowered fast.

But you would have to land after a jump squat, too, no?

bw 158

2 hours of bball stuff:
- jumps mixed in with dribbling/shooting etc.. at 1.5 hours in, my best jump/dunk attempt was probably 10'8-10'9 touch
- then i played one on one with some kid who said he was a shooting guard for a junior college, good game but he beat me 12-10
- after that game i just did a hard jump from two steps, must have been 34" off the ground, i hit both near base of palms with two hands and hung onto rim, i just took off

SICKKKKKK!!!

my legs feel VERY strong every time i walk the night before, for a long time.. this used to happen back when i was training vert way back too.. i think i might walk for like 4 hours tonight and see what happens tomorrow..
- my legs feel very refreshed immediately after
- my legs feel very strong and light the day after

i think walking is underrated in terms of strength, i mean, u get hours of non stop cyclic motor unit output and small ADA's, lots of blood flow, and it's not cns intensive one bit.. i think about training etc too while im walking and, i usually listen to classical on my walks.. i normally dont listen to classical during any other training.

Bring a new jump program to the market : bananas + walking + shadowboxing = 34'' RVJ ! LOL
Now no kidding , getting back to 34 without lifting at all is amazing! Most people dont realise it , they just go "oh! 34! got any dunks? got any pics/vids? now go to 35!". 34 with your type of approach is HUGE!!!
Start doing SLRVJs too , get everything up! Peak conditioning , quickness , power , DLRVJ , SLRVJ , become legendary!

Nice hops. Youre getting really close again.
